What’s Hot

Brighton 1 Wolves 1

A crowd of just over 27000 witnessed a lacklustre match in which the draw was probably the fair result. Chris  Hughton rang the changes after a sterile performance at Reading in midweek with 5 new players.  The Seagulls looked liked they should have a goal when Teixeira’s shot was parried [...]

i360 – white elephant ?

Work has started on the 575 foot tower on the Brighton seafront opposite Regency Square and facing the defunct West Pier. Controversially the council approved a £36m loan to the architects Marks Barfield who constructed the London Eye. The repayment of the borrowing is to come from income [...]

Fiorentina file

Fiorentina are committed on three fronts: the serie a, the Coppa and the Europa League. Montella our manager has to juggle his resources and prioritise his targets. On Monday we crashed – the Italian word is ‘ crolla’ -to Lazio 4-0 which all but ended any hopes of a top three [...]

A la Colthard / 64 Degees: lost its compass?

We critics do have the fault of once we approve or disapprove a restaurant we do not visit it again. For sometime 64 Degrees has enjoyed a stellar reputation and I have visited the Brghton branch at least 10 times and the Pimlico the once. High standards were maintained. However I visited the [...]

Although I agreed with much of Tom Hollingworth’s wide angled perspective on UK sport, there is one group on whom it will fall on deaf ears, namely the English cricket supporters. As the wiseacres pontificate over the World Cup debacle I have not seen much sympathy for those who pay thousands [...]

The Tanner Report

“Are we heading for oblivion?” and “I watched a horror movie …” were two of the messages I received after the Bournemouth debacle. Let me say straightaway that the Cherries were extremely good just as the last two teams to put five past us – Derby and Watford [...]

Benefit lunch: Luke Wright

Yesterday I attended the inaugural lunch for Luke Wright, the prolific one day batsman of Sussex, held at the Grand, Brighton. I have been attending such lunches for over 35 years and in that time the format has scarcely changed at all. The aim is to pack in as much in as possible to generate money [...]
